I definitely think there is something in taking things slow, which is why I will recommend having a watch of this talk by journalist and author Carl Honore, from Ted 2005...
Because slow is sustainable!
PS Sorry if you've seen this before! I managed to delete by mistake, so this is a repost. I've been having problems with the TED embedded video player (possibly a function of moving to IE7) - at least at my end, But this alternative player seems to work.
